Answer/Explanation:
A mutation alters the sequence of DNA. Therefore, the mRNA that is transcribed from the DNA has a different sequence.
This mRNA goes on to be read by the protein synthesis machinery in the cell. The protein synthesis machinery translates the sequence of the mRNA into an amino acid sequence, which makes up the protein.
If the sequence of the mRNA is different, due to a mutation in the DNA, then the cell will translate a different sequence into an amino acid. This alters the composition of the protein.
Mutations can be small, and affect only one amino acid, or they could be huge, and impact the entire protein.
Mutations have very different consequences in gametes vs non-gamete cells.
If a mutation occurs in a gamete, that means the mutation will be passed on to the next generation, as it is contained in the DNA in the egg or sperm that becomes fertilised to make a gamete.
However, mutations that occur in other cells are not passed on to the next generation. That does not mean they do not have effects. E.g. mutations in the skin caused by exposure to UV rays from the sun can contribute to cancer, but would not be passed on to the individual's children
Answer:
I would have to guess forest, as those claws look like they are for grabbing hold of branches, and the long beak usually means they eat worms.
Overpopulation and food competence are the most important features for which a native species may cause important ecological damage.
<h3>What is overpopulation?</h3>
Overpopulation is a phenomenon in which a population of a given species is over-represented in the ecosystem, which may lead to important disturbances in the homeostatic equilibrium
The lack of homeostatic equilibrium may lead to extinction of competing species and act as a predator of organisms below in the trophic chain.
In conclusion, overpopulation is one of of the most important features for which a native species may cause important ecological damage.
Complete question:
The brown tree snake is native in areas such as Australia and eastern Indonesia. In those ecosystems, the brown tree snake is not causing the decline of bird or tree populations. So what makes this same species damaging in Guam? Identify some characteristics a species may possess that would fuel its ability to cause ecological damage, as the brown tree snake has in Guam. Provide some reasoning for why you chose these characteristics.
